Year End List

I thought I'd have to come up with a year end list, since I haven't posted in so long. This one is about the music that hit me hard in 007. For this I looked through my itunes to see what I downloaded and bought in the last Calendar year. Here they are in no particular order.

The Shins - Wincing the Night Away
Sunset Rubdown - Random Spirit Lover
The Good the Bad and The Queen - ST
Shearwater - Palo Santo
Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall (1971 concert, first time on CD)
Low - Drums and Guns
Feist - The Reminder
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
The Apples in Stereo - New Magnetic Wonder
Blitzen Trapper - Wild Mountain Nation
St. Vincent - Marry Me
Wilco - Blue Sky Blue
Dean and Britta - Back Numbers
Caribou - Andorra
Iron and Wine - The Shepard's Dog
Beirut - The Flying Cup Club
Band of Horses - Cease to Begin
Radiohead - In Rainbows
I'm Not There - Soundtrack

Best Discoveries of the year
New Marble Giants - Colossal Youth
the entire Feelies catalog

Some Favourite songs of the year-
Myriad Harbour - The New Pornographers
Wild Mountain Nation - Blitzen Trapper
All My Friends - LCD Soundsystem
Objects of My Affection - Peter, Bjorn and John

Not yet released but will most surely be on next years list

Vincat - Not Yet Titled
No Kids - Come into my House
Ten Kens - Not Yet Titled
Ladyhawk - Shots

Next post will be top films of the year. This will probably be amended beacause
PT Anderson's There Will Be Blood doesn't open until Jan 11th.
